1. The physical attributes needed to be successful in shot put include great upper body strength. You need this strength to throw the shot put very far. You should use a workout with power and endurance to get the lower body in shape. You should also work on your core muscles to get the power you need to launch.
2. Athletes training for great performance at shot put should follow a certain diet. They should eat carbs like pasta and not just protein. This is important because when you build muscle it lessens your muscle glycogen stores. Protein recommendations for strength training are 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound.
3. The three most common shot put injuries are muscle or ligament sprain in the shoulder and arm, abdominal wall strain, and muscle sprains in the leg.
4. The five aspects of health apply to a person competing in shot put in several ways. It is emotional for a person to go through tough training and give up other things in their lives. It is mental because a person must focus to perform their best. It is physical because an athlete must train for months and months to have the strength to throw the shot put. It is social because athletes compete against other people in shot put. A little health competition is good every once in a while.
5. Bob Garrett won two medals in the shot put. He won the gold medal for the USA in 1896. He also won the bronze medal for the USA in 1900. Leo Sexton won the gold medal for the USA in shot put in 1932. Christian Cantwell won the silver medal in shot put for the USA in 2008.
